I have a stingray, serial #B022990

Rod Trussbroken said:
The "B" serials apply to both Pre-EB and Ernie Ball Sting Rays but no official records exist. Can you describe your Bass...
Click to expand...

colour...trans gold
fretboard wood...rosewood
3 or 4 bolt neck...4
top load bridge or strings through the body?...top load bridge
Is the string retainer on the D&G strings (Pre-EB) or A&D strings (EB)...A&D
The Pre-EB also has three position markers past the 12th fret while the EB has four....mine has 4

From info I have found, I'm guessing it was built around 1985....I was interested to find out where it was purchased (ie, in Australia or not)...hoping you might have that info....cheers

It's an Ernie Ball 'Ray and appears to made in either 1985 or 86. You might be lucky and find a date written (with a black marker) on the back of the control plate. Neck and body dates can be found as described above. I can't tell you where it was sent to or purchased.

I've never heard of Trans Gold back then. Is it perhaps Natural which has yellowed over the years?

Mike, welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on your new StingRay 5. It is a Vintage Sunburst finish with a maple neck and was built on Aug/05/2003 before being shipped over to the U.K.

Gumbo, welcome to the Forum. Your bass is actually Trans Teal (which is of course a shade of green) and was built on 10/15/98 and was shipped to Washington Music Center.
